Hey Guilford, let’s talk about summer safety! ☀️😎 This Sunday, June 21st is the first day of summer, and Officer Harkins and Firefighter/Paramedic Crocco have some important summer safety tips for you! 👮👨‍🚒

🔒First up, lock everything! That means all doors, windows, and garage doors when leaving, even if you’re just running out for a few minutes. And of course, lock your cars too! 🚙 🚗 Take your keys, and remove or hide all valuables.

🍗 🍔 Next, if you’re thinking of having a backyard barbeque, make sure to keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your house or any other structure. Never leave your grill unattended. For campfires, use a designated fire pit far away from any dry brush. And always keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby. 💧🧯

🚘 If you’re going out for a drive, make sure to watch out for pedestrians and cyclists. Give walkers, joggers, and cyclists at least 3-feet of clearance when passing, and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. 🏃🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

🥵 Now let’s talk about hot cars. A car’s interior can heat up rapidly and temperatures inside can quickly reach dangerous levels. Never leave a child or pet unattended inside a vehicle, even just for a couple minutes.

🏝️🚢 Are you headed away on a summer vacation? We know it’s tempting to let everyone know how much you’re enjoying relaxing on the beach in Turks and Caicos, but consider waiting until you get back to post those vacation pics, so that you’re not letting the whole world know that no one’s home! 🤫

🌊 Lastly, let’s talk about water safety! Never swim alone and only swim in designated areas. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket when boating. 🚣 Children should never be left unsupervised around a body of water.

See you next time, and stay safe! 🚓🚒

Thank you for Firefighter/Paramedic Crocco from the Guilford Fire Department for helping us bring you this important message!

We are extremely proud of Sergeant Anthony Nucolo and Guilford Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic John Planas on the outstanding commitment to public safety they demonstrated while assisting the North Branford Police Department last month in helping to locate a missing teen.

On the afternoon of May 12, 2026, North Branford Police requested our assistance in locating a missing teen from their community who was reported to be in close proximity to Guilford. The teen had left their house on foot and it was unknown if they had come into Guilford. Sergeant Nucolo responded to the area of the teen’s last known location and requested that the Guilford Fire Department respond to the scene as well with their drone.

Using available resources, officers were able to narrow the teen’s location to a particular area. Firefighter/Paramedic Planas then used the drone to search this area, and located the missing teen, who was subsequently transported to the hospital for treatment.

This week, Sergeant Nucolo and Firefigher/Paramedic Planas were honored to each received a Unit Citation from North Branford Police Chief Lovelace for their efforts in helping to save a teenager’s life during a time of crisis. As Chief Lovelace stated, “The actions taken exemplified the highest standards of law enforcement and fire service. Their dedication, perseverance, and compassion during this incident are a credit to both organizations and the communities we proudly serve.”

Congratulations to Sergeant Nucolo and Firefighter/Paramedic Planas, and keep up the great work!
